Green Development Zone Wins International Sustainability Competition

Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of State and the American Planning Association announced the three finalists in their Changemaker’s International Sustainable Urban Housing Competition. Out of 11 finalists from countries around the globe, PUSH Buffalo and its Green Development Zone came out on top.

The leaders and staff of PUSH (People United for Sustainable Housing) will be hosting a celebration event in honor of this important victory for our city and the efforts being made towards sustainable reform. The event will be taking place today at 3:30 p.m. at 10 Winter Street, which is the site of PUSH’s NetZero house. Elected officials and community representatives will be present to give speeches and lead a tour of the projects that have come out of the Green Development Zone.

The zone encompasses the Massachusetts Avenue Project, the Outsource Center, Homefront and Habitat for Humanity. Each of these organizations contribute to the overall goal of creating a more sustainable city by taking vacant properties in the area and transforming them into affordable, green housing units and training locations for those who are joining the green jobs field. There are over 30 parcels of property in this zone that have gone from vacant spaces to integral parts of the sustainable movement.

“This is a huge honor for our city to be recognized worldwide as leaders in sustainability innovation,” said Jen Mecozzi, PUSH Board Chair. “As a single mother of four living on the West Side, I know what my family needs where we live, and we’re making it happen, with green affordable housing, sustainable landscaping and green jobs training. Winning this contest demonstrates the incredible amount of support we have for our efforts.”

Thanks to online voters, Buffalo’s Green Development Zone was chosen to receive a prize of $10,000, which will be used to expand the work being done there. PUSH and the other organizations associated with the Green Development Zone have also earned recognition on the local, national and international levels for their contributions to sustainable housing and job creation.

“PUSH’s selection as a finalist in Changemakers’ International Sustainable Urban Housing competition speaks directly to the innovative work that is happening right here on Buffalo’s West Side,” said Michael Clarke, Executive Director of LISC-Buffalo. “PUSH’s dedication to true resident engagement and participation shows that rebuilding neighborhoods in Buffalo and beyond needs to be about more than just housing. The Green Development Zone exemplifies true comprehensive community development by focusing on the built environment while providing opportunities for neighbors, education, pathways to employment, wealth building, and improved quality of life, all underpinned by a focus on environmental stewardship and sustainability so crucial to the future of our neighborhoods.”

This is great news.The lower West Side with all of its positive activities and projects is building a very impressive momentum.
Let’s hope that momentum spreads all over the city.

Wow! Congrats!

It’s great that a COMMUNITY organization is being recognized, and I hope that the government and business sector takes note of this!
Green and sustainable issues are becoming a deciding factor for more and more people and businesses today. If encouraged and promoted by our leaders and employers, it can attract new residents, jobs and funding to our area.
I can’t cite references, but have read that northern climates are more cost effective and energy efficient to heat and cool than sunbelt areas, even those with dramatically cheaper energy sources (A/C is a hugely inefficient method of temperature control compared to heating… the carbon footprint for a home or business in the south is something like two or three times that of a similar building in the northeast, and can be 1.5 to 2 times more expensive)
With current concerns over oil prices, energy efficiency, water conservation, and sustainable living, Buffalo would do well to promote groups like PUSH to attract new businesses and populations in the coming years.

Congratulations PUSH!

Buffalo All Star

Well done.. this is the type of thing leaders need to get behind. Public sector will never be able to accomplish what private organizations like PUSH can.

The next generation of jazz

Event Details

The next generation of jazz greats visits the Performing Arts Center. Vincent Ingala, Jonathan Fritzen and Buffalo’s own Cindy Bradley take the stage showcasing their musical prowess. The concert features the fastest emerging contemporary jazz artists performing together on one stage. This unprecedented event features Ingala on saxophone, Fritzen on keys, and the Buffalo homecoming of Cindy Bradley on trumpet.

Vincent Ingala has blasted into an exciting stratosphere of his own making since his 2010 critically acclaimed debut album, North End Soul. One of the fastest emerging contemporary jazz recording artists in recent history, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, is still only in his early twenties, the charismatic saxophonist has been named Billboard Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year in 2012, Sirius XM Watercolors Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2013, and his music is consistently found atop the most noteworthy music charts in the world, including three number one hits on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Chart, five singles in the Billboard Smooth Jazz Top 10, as well as an unprecedented 25 weeks at #1 on SmoothJazz.com’s Top 50 Independent Chart and #15 on SmoothJazz.com’s 2014 Year End Chart.

Jonathan Fritzen has quickly risen up the smooth jazz ranks with emotionally engaged music filled with melodic hooks, layered textures, and genuine musicianship. Considered one of the hottest composers and keyboard players in instrumental jazz, his latest work, Fritzenized became a chart topper before it was even released. It is the Swedish American’s fifth solo CD and follows the critically acclaimed Magical from which the title cut blasted a path to #1 on every smooth jazz airplay chart on the planet.

Buffalo native Cindy Bradley is not only keeping the trumpet and flugelhorn hip, she’s also continues her knack for picking spot on album titles. Calling her 2009 debut Bloom proved prophetic, as the multi-talented performer blossomed into a powerful and charismatic presence at radio and on the contemporary jazz festival circuit. Along the way, Cindy performed everywhere from the River Raisin’ Jazz Festival in Monroe, Michigan to the Dubai Jazz Fest. She won Best New Artist at the American Smooth Jazz Awards and was named Debut Artist of the Year by the Catalina Island Jazz Trax Festival and Smooth Jazz News. How to follow up? Easy. Don’t over-think or worry about everyone’s great expectations. Like a lot of the most exciting moments in life, it’s sometimes just best to go Unscripted—the perfect moniker for the whimsical spirit and stylistic diversity that drives Cindy’s new album.

“For a great many Western New Yorkers, the Holiday Season doesn’t begin until they’ve heard the Buffalo Choral Arts Society’s Christmas Concert,” said Kevin Phalen, BCAS President. “The trademark of BCAS is its diversity, and nowhere is this more evident than in our annual Holiday program,” he concluded.

This year brings jaunty arrangements of Jingle Bells and Ding, Dong Merrily on High, juxtaposed with the serenity of Carols of the Night, which features a breathtaking arrangement of O Holy Night and Silent Night by composer Craig Courtney. In addition, BCAS will present selections from John Rutter, Handel’s Messiah and much, much more. The Concert will be approximately 80 minutes in length and will be performed without an intermission.

The Celtic Tenors have established themselves as the most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland. In 2000, following an impromptu audition at EMI in London, the Celtic Tenors were signed on the spot to an international record deal, a highly unusual event that was the talk of the music industry.

The Celtic Tenors continue to re-invent the whole tenor idiom by pioneering a new style of cool never before seen on the classical stage and by breaking the traditional stuffy tenor mold.
